(CTV News) — As the clock ticks towards the end of 2023, international students in Canada are bracing themselves for a significant change that could drastically alter their lives. The Canadian government’s decision to reinstate the 20-hour work limit per week for students outside campus is sending ripples of concern across the community. This change marks the end of a temporary relief provided by a pilot project initiated in November 2022, which was aimed at addressing labor shortages in the Canadian economy.
